This year’s issue includes 2 articles and 4 symposium addresses.

Notes

1. Japanese readers may find Susumu Higuchi’s online (Japanese) report about the symposium to be a helpful summary of the addresses.
2. Katsuki Hirano’s address includes, as an appendix (pages 73–87), a Japanese translation of M. Craig Barnes’s sermon, “Preaching to the Rabble” (Numbers 11:1–6), delivered at the Festival of Homiletics on May 19, 2010. The Japanese title is 「”雑多な他国人”への説教」.
3. I corrected one typo in Hirano’s address title (“Homiletics North America” to “Homiletics in North America”).
